Resumen
VILCHEZ-CORNEJO, Jennifer et al. Imposter Syndrome and its Associated Factors in Medical Students in Six Peruvian Faculties. rev.colomb.psiquiatr. [online]. 2023, vol.52, n.2, pp.113-120. Epub 12-Ago-2023. ISSN 0034-7450. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rcp.2021.04.011.
Objective:
To determine the factors associated with impostor syndrome in medical students from six regions of Peru.
Material and methods:
A multicentre, cross-sectional study was conduced on students from first to the sixth year in six Peruvian regions. Sociodemographic, academic, and psychological characteristics were included through the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale-21, the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale and the Clance Imposter Phenomenon Scale. Generalized linear models were performed using crude and adjusted estimated prevalence ratios.
Results:
Of 2,231 medical students, 54.3% were female and 30.6% had the impostor phenomenon. An association was found between the PI and those who suffered from depression (aPR=1.51; 95%CI, 1.27-1.79), anxiety (aPR = 2.25; 95%CI, 1.75-2.90), stress (aPR=1.37; 95%CI, 1.19-1.57), and being female (aPR = 1.12; 95%CI, 1.01-1.26).
Conclusions:
Three out of 10 medical students suffer from PI; having some level of depression, anxiety, stress, being a woman, and/or attending the fourth academic year were predisposing factors for their development.
